We loved snorkelling around this jetty. Sometimes we left from the shore, other times we walked out a distance and left from one of the platforms placed along the jetty for swimmers and snorkelers.

Yallingup Aquarium
The Aquarium at Yallingup is a natural rock pool surrounded by granite bolders with clear calm water. A great place for families. From the little dirt car park its a 600 metre walk, or from the larger sealed car park at the Canal Rocks boat ramp, it’s about a 1.3km walk. The Canal Rocks boardwalk leaves from the boat ramp car park and is well worth a visit.
The 1.3km path from the Canal Rocks car park to the Aquarium follows the Cape to Cape hiking trail. A 123km walk along the spectacular coastline from the light house at Cape Naturalist’s to the lighthouse at Cape Leeuwin.
